Sorin's Gate

Sorin's Gate, also known as the Edge of the World, is a city in western Republic of Myr.

Government
Lead by the Routhgaer family, they have been the Burgher of the city since its creation. They are known for their aggressive and sometimes totalitarian tactics and are often seen hiring criminals as their guards. They keep a high tax rate in their realm, and shakedown anyone that looks to leave from the city. Hasvard Routhgaer is the current Burgher with his son looking to lead after him. However there are rumors that his son is seeking to remove his father from power early.

History
Founded in 806 BS, it started as a small farming community that banded together to defend against invaders. Sorin Routhgaer led them in the defense, raised basic wooden walls, and kept them alive during the harshest of raids. The people sought his leadership, and soon was elected as mayor of the newly founded town. He is known as a benevolent and kind man who helped all those that were in need.

In 615 BS, the town grew in size to the point where they built down the cliffside. This was advised against many times by the architects and mason workers however the current Burgher demanded for it to be done. After nearly five years of building into the cliffside, the side cracked and crumbled destroying and killing all the lived there. This is known as the Great Fall by commoners here.

In 359 AS, the farming community grew so large that it could no longer supply just through cattle and pigs. The Burgher brought in many fishers and engineers to work on a massive industrious project. They built large ports supported by massive pillars out across the cliffside, and fish farms directly below it. The engineers built cranes the pulled up massive nets from the fish farms and onto the what is now known has the Hanging Port of Sorin's Gate. This stands to this day and is one of the most productive fishing communities.

In the past few hundred years, the philanthropist lifestyle of the Routhgaer family has taken a turn for the worst as they have become more ruthless and selfish in their leadership. Some say this is due to a curse, while the commoners under them just believe they should have been raised better.

Trade
Commonly trading in fishing goods now, they are well known for the Myrian Salmon that is only found on the western coast of Myr. They sell mostly farming goods as they dont have any factories to speak of here. They are well known for buying luxury goods and items that have extreme value.
